$20 for either a "tight-head" top (shown) or for a removable top. (as of Oct. 2008)

Be sure to get one that contained non-toxic ingredients - open it and peek/smell before you accept it, because some foods are nasty to clean up, too! Oil will come out with a little detergent, but eggs--ick!

This barrel is shown with the holes you will need to make, already cut. There are three: one on top, where you remove approximately a half-circle. One near the side of the top, for overflow drainage, and one near the bottom (on the right, hard to see) for a faucet. An additional hole the same size and height as for the faucet may be added to "chain" to a second barrel.

Flexible window screen, 28" x 28"
